King Aussie classy
PA Rotorua King Aussie, which is trained at Woodville, outclassed his rivals when he won the - Jardine Insurance Handi- '' cap, first leg of the T.A.B. - double at the Rotorua-Bay of Plenty Hunt Club’s - meeting at the Arawa Park yesterday. The veteran jockey, David Peake, had King Aussie beautifully placed ' behind the pacemaker, Niptide and sent him forward 400 metres out. From there it was just a question of how much the ’ Moss Trooper gelding would win by. Peake stopped riding about 100 m out and Lofty ; Blomfield came home solidly from the rear, but far too late, for second. He was just ahead of - two others, Beaufort Light and Brooke Bond, which were both giving the leader 15 lengths at the turn. King Aussie has now won four of 17 races with *- seven placings for his ” Central Districts trainer, " John Harris.
